     wherein R1 and R2 represent independently a hydrogen atom or a deuterium atom; A represents an oxygen or nitrogen atom; and SERM-F represents a selective estrogen receptor modulator fragment comprising an aryl or heteroaryl group linked to the adjacent “A” group. 
     The invention also relates to the preparation and to the therapeutic uses of the compounds of formula (I-A) as inhibitors and degraders of estrogen receptors.

The present invention relates to novel substituted N-(3-fluoropropyl)-pyrrolidine compounds, the processes for their preparation, as well as the therapeutic uses thereof, in particular as anticancer agents via selective antagonism and degradation of estrogen receptors.

The Estrogen Receptors (ERs) belong to the steroid/nuclear receptor superfamily involved in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression, cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. ERs are in two forms: the estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and the estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) respectively encoded by the ESR1 and the ESR2 genes. ERα and ERβ are ligand-activated transcription factors which are activated by the hormone estrogen (the most potent estrogen produced in the body is 17β-estradiol). In the absence of hormone, ERs are largely located in the cytosol of the cell. When the hormone estrogen binds to ERs, ERs migrate from the cytosol to the cell nucleus, form dimers and then bind to specific genomic sequences called Estrogen Response Elements (ERE). The DNA/ER complex interacts with co-regulators to modulate the transcription of target genes.

ERα is mainly expressed in reproductive tissues such as uterus, ovary, breast, bone and white adipose tissue. Abnormal ERα signaling leads to development of a variety of diseases, such as cancers, metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation diseases and osteoporosis.

ERα is expressed in not more than 10% of normal breast epithelium but approximately 50-80% of breast tumors. Such breast tumors with high level of ERα are classified as ERα-positive breast tumors. The etiological role of estrogen in breast cancer is well established and modulation of ERα signaling remains the mainstay of breast cancer treatment for the majority ERα-positive breast tumors. Currently, several strategies for inhibiting the estrogen axis in breast cancer exist, including: 1—blocking estrogen synthesis by aromatase inhibitors that are used to treat early and advanced ERα-positive breast cancer patients; 2—antagonizing estrogen ligand binding to ERα by tamoxifen which is used to treat ERα-positive breast cancer patients in both pre- and post-menopausal settings; 3—antagonizing and downregulating ERα levels by fulvestrant, which is used to treat breast cancer in patients that have progressed despite endocrine therapies such as tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors.

Although these endocrine therapies have contributed enormously to reduction in breast cancer development, about more than one-third of ERα-positive patients display de-novo resistance or develop resistance over time to such existing therapies. Several mechanisms have been described to explain resistance to such hormone therapies. For example, hypersensitivity of ERα to low estrogen level in treatment with aromatase inhibitors, the switch of tamoxifen effects from antagonist to agonist effects in tamoxifen treatments or multiple growth factor receptor signaling pathways. More recently proposed, acquired mutations in ERα occurring after initiation of hormone therapies may play a role in treatment failure and cancer progression. Certain mutations in ERα, particularly those identified in the Ligand Binding Domain (LBD), result in the ability to bind to DNA in the absence of ligand and confer hormone independence in cells harboring such mutant receptors.

Most of the endocrine therapy resistance mechanisms identified rely on ERα-dependent activity. One of the new strategies to counterforce such resistance is to shut down the ERα signaling by removing ERα from the tumor cells using Selective Estrogen Receptors Degraders (SERDs). Clinical and preclinical data showed that a significant number of the resistance pathways can be circumvented by the use SERDs.

There is still a need to provide SERDs with good degradation efficacy.

The objective of the present invention is to provide novel compounds able to selectively antagonize and degrade the estrogen receptors (SERDs compounds), for use in cancer treatment.

According to SCHEME 1, in which A=O, B=D=E=G=CH and X, n, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are defined as described above, a substituted bicyclic ketone intermediate (Ia) is converted in STEP 1 into the corresponding enol triflate intermediate (Ib) by treatment for example with triflic anhydride (Tf₂O) in solution in dichloromethane (DCM) in the presence of a base, for example pyridine, at room temperature (RT). Intermediate (Ib) is subjected in STEP 2 to a Suzuki coupling with 4-hydroxyphenyl-boronic acid using for example [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino) ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) (Pd(dppf)Cl₂), complex with DCM, as catalyst, in a mixture of dioxane and water and in the presence of a base, for example cesium carbonate (Cs₂CO₃), at RT or by heating up to reflux. The intermediate (Ic) obtained is brominated in STEP 3 using for example pyridinium tribromide in DCM or tetrahydrofurane (THF) at RT. This phenol derivative intermediate (Id) is then subjected in STEP 4 to a Mitsunobu reaction with tetramethyldiazenedicarboxamide and triphenylphosphine (Ph₃P) in THF at RT to obtain N-Boc protected pyrrolidine intermediate (Ie) which is sequentially deprotected (STEP 5) using a 4M solution of hydrochloric acid in dioxane and alkylated (STEP 6) with the corresponding 1-halogeno-3-fluoropropane, for example 1-iodo-3-fluoropropane in N,N-dimethylformamide at 70° C. in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃) to produce intermediate (Ig). Finally, this intermediate is engaged in a Suzuki reaction (STEP 7) with a suitable boronic reagent R6B(OR′)₂, wherein —B(OR′)₂ is a boronic acid or a pinacolate ester and R6 is as above defined, using for example Pd(dppf)Cl₂, complex with DCM, as catalyst, in a mixture of dioxane and water and in the presence of a base, for example Cs₂CO₃, at RT or by heating up to reflux to obtain compound (I).

In the above-described reactions, it can be necessary to protect reactive functional groups, for example hydroxy, amino, thio or carboxy groups, where these groups are desired in the final product, to avoid their unwanted participation in the reactions. Conventional protecting groups can be used in accordance with standard practice, for example, see T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts in “Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry”, John Wiley and Sons, 2006.

When R3 or R5 represents an —OH group, this —OH group is protected, for example as a pivaloyl ester or a methyl ether. Deprotection can be performed just after STEP 6 or after STEP 7 by treating, with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide 2N (NaOH), a solution of the pivaloyl ester in methanol (MeOH) at RT, followed by acidification with an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride 2N (HCl), or just after STEP 5, by treating a solution of the methyl ether in DCM by boron trifluoride at RT.

When R3 represents a —COOH group, this —COOH group is protected, for example as a methyl ester. Deprotection is performed just after STEP 7 by treating a solution of the methyl ester in MeOH with an aqueous solution of NaOH 2N, at RT, followed by acidification with an aqueous solution of HCl 2N.

In another embodiment of the invention, it can be advantageous for the preparation of intermediate (Ig) from SCHEME 1 to use a variation of SCHEME 1, called SCHEME 1a depicted below.

According to SCHEME 1a, in which A=O, B=D=E=G=CH and X, n, R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are defined as described above, an enol triflate intermediate (Ib) (obtained as described in SCHEME 1) is subjected in STEP 1 to a Suzuki coupling with reagent (1) ((S)-1-(3-fluoropropyl)-3-(4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2yl)-phenoxy)pyrrolidine) using for example (Pd(dppf)Cl₂), complex with DCM, as catalyst, in a mixture of dioxane and water and in the presence of a base, for example Cs₂CO₃, at RT or by heating up to reflux. The preparation of reagent (1) is described hereunder in SCHEME 2.

The intermediate (Ih) obtained is brominated in STEP 2 using for example pyridinium tribromide in DCM or THF at RT to produce bromo derivative intermediate (Ig).

Compound (c) thus obtained is N-deprotected in STEP 2 in MeOH at RT using an acidic agent, for example a solution of HCl 4N in dioxane.

Alkylation of the pyrrolidine nitrogen is then performed in STEP 3 by reacting compound (d) with the corresponding 1-halogeno-3-fluoropropane, for example 1-iodo-3-fluoropropane in acetonitrile (MeCN) in presence of K₂CO₃ at about 40° C.

When A=NH in the compounds of formula (I) according to the invention, then the compounds of formula (I) can be prepared according to SCHEME 3 below.

According to SCHEME 3, in which A=NH, B=D=E=G=CH and X, n, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are defined as described above, a bromo derivative intermediate (Id) as defined in SCHEME 1 is subjected in STEP 1 to a Suzuki coupling with a suitable boronic reagent R6B(OR′)₂, wherein —B(OR′)₂ is a boronic acid or a pinacolate ester and R6 is as above defined, using for example Pd(dppf)Cl₂, complex with DCM, as catalyst, in a mixture of dioxane and water as solvent and in the presence of a base, for example Cs₂CO₃, at RT or by heating up to reflux to obtain phenol intermediate (Ii) which is transformed into a triflate (Ij) in STEP 2 by treatment by Tf₂O in DCM in the presence of pyridine. This triflate (Ij) is engaged in a Buchwald coupling (STEP 3) with 3-(S)-amino-pyrrolidine 1-N-Boc protected in dioxane at 140° C. using for example xantphos/Palladium acetate as catalytic system to produce intermediate (Ik). Finally, the Boc protecting group is removed in STEP 4 by a 1M solution of anhydrous hydrochloric acid in DCM and the resulting NH pyrrolidine (II) is alkylated in STEP 5 with the corresponding disubstituted 1-halogeno-3-fluoropropane, for example 1-iodo-3-fluoropropane in DMF at 70° C. in the presence of K₂CO₃ as base to produce compound (1) as defined above.

In the above-described reactions, it can be necessary to protect reactive functional groups, for example hydroxy, amino, thio or carboxy groups, where these groups are desired in the final product, to avoid their unwanted participation in the reactions.

When R3 or R5 represents an —OH group, this —OH group is protected, for example as a pivaloyl ester or a methyl ether. Deprotection can be performed just after STEP 5 by treating, with an aqueous solution of NaOH 2N, a solution of the pivaloyl ester in MeOH at RT, followed by acidification with an aqueous solution of HCl 2N HCl, or just after STEP 4 by treating a solution of the methyl ether in DCM by boron trifluoride at RT.

When R3 represents a —COOH group, this —COOH group is protected, for example as a methyl ester. Deprotection is performed just after STEP 5 by treating a solution of the methyl ester in MeOH, with an aqueous solution of NaOH 2N at RT, followed by acidification with an aqueous solution of HCl 2N.

In another embodiment of the invention, when A=NH, it can be advantageous for the preparation of the compounds (I) to use a variation of SCHEME 3, called SCHEME 3a depicted below.

According to SCHEME 3a, in which A=NH, B=D=E=G=CH and X, n, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are defined as described above, a phenol derivative intermediate (Ic) as described in SCHEME 1 is subjected in STEP 1 to a treatment by Tf₂O in DCM in the presence of pyridine to provide intermediate (Im). This triflate (Im) is engaged in a Buchwald coupling (STEP 2) with 3-(S)-amino-pyrrolidine 1-N-Boc protected in dioxane at 140° C. using for example xantphos/palladium acetate as catalytic system to produce intermediate (In), which is then deprotected in STEP 3 by a 1M solution of anhydrous hydrochloric acid in DCM and the resulting NH pyrrolidine (Io) is alkylated in STEP 4 with the corresponding disubstituted 1-halogeno-3-fluoropropane, for example 1-iodo-3-fluoropropane in DMF at 70° C. in the presence of K₂CO₃ as base to produce intermediate (Ip). This intermediate (Ip) obtained is brominated in STEP 5 using for example pyridinium tribromide in DCM or THF at RT. This bromo derivative intermediate (Iq) is then subjected in STEP 6 to a Suzuki coupling with a suitable boronic reagent R6B(OR′)₂, wherein —B(OR′)₂ is a boronic acid or a pinacolate ester and R6 is as above defined, using for example Pd(dppf)Cl₂, complex with DCM, as catalyst, in a mixture of dioxane and water as solvent and in the presence of a base, for example Cs₂CO₃, at RT or by heating up to reflux to obtain compound (I).

When R3 represents a —COOH group, this —COOH group is protected, for example as a methyl ester. Deprotection is performed just after STEP 6 by treating a solution of the methyl ester in MeOH, with an aqueous solution of NaOH 2N at RT, followed by acidification with an aqueous solution of HCl 2N.

When at least one of B or D or E or G is a nitrogen atom, corresponding compounds of formula (I) can be prepared according to SCHEME 4.

According to SCHEME 4, in which A=O, at least one of B, D, E or G=N, and X, n, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are defined as described above, an enol triflate intermediate (Ib) is reacted (STEP 1) with bis-pinacolato-diboron using for example PdCl₂(PPh₃)₂, as catalyst, in toluene at 100° C. and in the presence of a base, for example potassium phenate. The preparation of reagent (2) is described hereunder in SCHEME 5.

In the above-described reactions, it can be necessary to protect reactive functional groups, for example hydroxy, amino, thio or carboxy groups, where these groups are desired in the final product, to avoid their unwanted participation in the reactions. Conventional protecting groups can be used in accordance with standard practice, for example, see T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts in “Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry”, John Wiley and Sons, 2006.

When R3 or R5 represents an —OH group, this —OH group is protected, for example as a pivaloyl ester or a methyl ether. Deprotection can be performed just after STEP 9 by treating, with an aqueous solution of NaOH 2N, a solution of the pivaloyl ester in MeOH at RT, followed by acidification with an aqueous solution of HCl 2N, or just after STEP 8 by treating a solution of the methyl ether in DCM by boron trifluoride at RT.

When R3 represents a —COOH group, this —COOH group is protected, for example as a methyl ester. Deprotection is performed just after STEP 9 by treating a solution of the methyl ester in MeOH, with an aqueous solution of NaOH 2N at RT, followed by acidification with an aqueous solution of HCl 2N.

Reagent 2′ can be obtained by the same reaction of condensation of N-Boc-(S)-3-hydroxy-pyrrolidine on a 1-fluoro-4-halogeno-heteroaromatic derivative in DMF at RT in the presence of a base, for example sodium hydride

In another embodiment of the invention, it is possible for the preparation of reagent 2 or 2′ to use a variation of SCHEME 5, called SCHEME 5a depicted below, which consists in performing a Mitsunobu reaction of N-(3-fluoro-propyl)-3-(R)-hydroxy-pyrrolidine derivative (obtained as described in SCHEME 5) or of N-Boc-3-(R)-hydroxy-pyrrolidine on a 1-hydroxy-4-halogeno-heteroaromatic derivative in THF in the presence of triphenylphosphine(Ph₃P) and DEAD (diethyl-aza-dicarboxylate) at RT.

In another embodiment of the invention, when X=SO and n=0 or 1, and when X=SO₂ and n=0 or 1 in formula (I), it is possible to use a variation of SCHEME 1, called SCHEME Ib depicted below.

According to SCHEME 1b the bicyclic thioether precursor of formula (I)1 is oxidized into the corresponding sulfoxide (compound (I)2) by two equivalents of potassium peroxymonosulfate in MeOH and water at RT. When 3 equivalents of oxidizing agents are used in the same conditions, then the sulfone is obtained (compound (I)3).

According to SCHEME 1c, the indolinyl derivative (I)4 is reduced into the indolinyl compound (I)5 by using sodium cyanoborohydride in acetic acid (AcOH).

In another embodiment of the invention, it can be advantageous, when the compounds of the invention are such that R3 is a —COOH group, to generate this carboxylic acid at the last step by carbonylation of a triflate (R3=OTf) as shown in SCHEME 6 depicted below.

SCHEME 6 describes the synthesis of compounds of the formula (I) wherein A=0, R3 represents a —COOH group, and B, D, G, E, X, n, R1, R2, R4, R5 and R6 are defined in the general formula (I) above, by generating the —COOH group from the —OH group at the R3 position of the compounds of formula (I)6. In STEP 1 of SCHEME 6 the —OH group at the R3 position in the compounds of formula (I)6 is transformed into a triflate group by using Tf₂O in DCM with a base, for example pyridine, at RT. The intermediate (Iad) obtained is then transformed into a carboxylated compound in STEP 2 with Mo(CO)₆ (molybdene hexacarbonyle) at about 150° C. in a mixture of pyridine and water and using for example palladium acetate (Pd(OAc)₂) and 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (P(Ph)₂—(CH₂)₃—P(Ph)₂) as catalytic system, so as to obtain the compounds of formula (I)7 wherein B, D, G, E, X, n, R1, R2, R4, R5 and R6 are as above defined and R3 is a —COOH group.

In another embodiment of the invention, it is possible as well, when R3 represents a —COOH group, to use a variation of SCHEME 6, called SCHEME 6a depicted below. This SCHEME 6a is an alternative process to the above SCHEME 6.

SCHEME 6a describes the synthesis of the intermediates defined above by generating a —COOMe group from the —OH group (R3=OH). In STEP 1 of SCHEME 6a, the —OH group of intermediate (Is), wherein A=O and B, D, G, E, X, n, R1, R2, R4 and R5 are defined in the general formula (I) above, is transformed into a triflate group with, for example, Tf₂O in DCM with a base, for example pyridine, at RT to provide intermediate (Iae) which is sequentially carbonylated in STEP 2 under 2 to 10 bars of carbon monoxide (CO) at about 70° C. in a mixture of MeOH and DMF using for example Pd(OAc)₂ and (P(Ph)₂—(CH₂)₃—P(Ph)₂) as catalytic system. The intermediate (Iaf) is then subjected to steps 3 and 4 described in SCHEME 6a. The methyl ester (I)8 thus obtained is deprotected using aqueous NaOH in MeOH, so as to obtain compounds of formula (I)7 wherein A=O and B, D, G, E, X, n, R1, R2, R4, R5 and R6 are defined in the general formula (I) above and R3 is a —COOH group.

In parallel, 2-fluoro-2-methyl propanol is condensed in STEP 2 on Tf₂O in DCM in the presence of a base, for example lutidine, and the product of this reaction, intermediate (IIb), is reacted (STEP 3) with 3-(2-amino-propyl)-indole. Then these two moieties (IIa) and (IIc) are assembled in STEP 4 in toluene and AcOH at RT or by heating to reflux to produce intermediate (IId) as a mixture of trans isomers which are separated by chiral HPLC (STEP 5) to obtain compound (II).

The invention also concerns the preparation of the compound (III) depicted below, corresponding to a compound of formula (I-A) as described above wherein R1 and R2 represent hydrogen atoms and wherein SERM-F represents the structure (cIII) as described above.

The intermediate (IIIb) obtained is sequentially engaged in two successive Suzuki coupling reactions (STEPS 2 and 3), first with the iodophenoxy N-substituted-3-pyrrolidine, in the presence of PdCl₂(PPh₃)₂ as catalyst in the presence of a base such as Cs₂CO₃ in methyltetrahydrofuran, at a temperature comprised between RT and reflux, to give intermediates (IIIc) and (IIId), secondly with 2-chloro-4-fluoro-iodobenzene in the presence of PdCl₂(PPh₃)2, in the presence of a base such as potassium hydroxide in methyltetrahydrofuran at a temperature comprised between RT and reflux, to obtain a mixture of intermediates (IIIe) and (IIIf) which are deprotected in STEP 4.

According to Scheme 9, 3-(R)-hydroxy-N-Boc-pyrrolidine is reacted in STEP 1 with 4-hydroxy methylbenzoate in THF in the presence of diisopropyl diazene dicarboxylate and triphenyl phosphine to obtain intermediate (IVa), which is sequentially N-deprotected with hydrogen chloride in DCM (STEP 2, intermediate (IVb)) and alkylated with corresponding 3-fluoropropyl derivative in the presence of K₂CO₃ as base and in MeCN (STEP 3, intermediate (IVc)). This intermediate is engaged in a saponification using potassium hydroxide in MeOH (STEP 4). The acid intermediate (IVd) is reacted with thionyl chloride (STEP 5), then with methoxy methyl amine in DCM in the presence of a base such as triethylamine (STEP 6) to obtain intermediate (IVf) which is engaged in a Grignard reaction with the corresponding Grignard reagent in THF (STEP 7). The ketone intermediate (IVg) obtained is brominated in STEP 8 with N,N,N-trimethylbenzeneaminium tribromide in THF and the resulting intermediate (IVh) is condensed on the corresponding substituted thiophenol in the presence of a base, NaH for example in a solvent such as THF at a temperature comprised between RT and reflux to produce intermediate (IVi) which is cyclized in STEP 10 into intermediate (IVj) with triethylsilane in a mixture of AcOH and DCM at a temperature comprised between RT and reflux. This intermediate (IVj) is debenzylated in STEP 11 using trimethylsilane iodide with 1-methylimidazole and thiourea in MeCN to produce intermediate (IVk) as a mixture of diastereoisomers which are separated by chiral HPLC (STEP 12) to obtain compound (IV).

The compounds according to the invention were subjected to pharmacological tests for determining their antagonist, antiproliferative and degradation effects on estrogen receptors.

Test A: Biochemical Antagonist Activity on Wild Type (WT) and Mutants Estrogen Receptors

Test A involves measuring the in vitro antagonist activity of the compounds of the invention on estrogen receptors.

The measurements of the antagonist activities were made using an estrogen receptor coactivator assay as described hereunder.

Antagonistic potency of compounds was evaluated using LanthaScreen® TR-FRET ERα Coactivator Assay (ThermoFisher) with modifications. It is a competition assay, where binding of a test compound to a complex comprised of (i) His6-ERα298-554 protein representing ERα ligand-binding domain, (ii) Tb-labeled His6 antibody, (iii) a fluorescein-labeled PGC1a coactivator peptide (EAEEPSLLKKLLLAPANTQ), and (iv) estradiol, results in a decrease of the TR-FRET signal due to dissociation of the coactivator peptide. His6-ERα298-554 proteins were expressed as WT or D538G or Y537S mutants in E. coli and purified by affinity chromatography. The assay works in a homogeneous mix-and-read format. In a typical experiment, a 4 μL mixture of 0.5 nM His6-ERα298-554, 0.5 nM Tb-labeled His6 antibody, 250 nM PGC1a peptide, and 3 nM estradiol (or 10 nM estradiol) in 100 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.4, 0.01% Tween-20, 0.02% NaN₃, 5 mM DTT, was added to 40 nL test compound in DMSO and incubated overnight at room temperature. The TR-FRET 520:495 nm emission ratio was calculated and used to determine the IC50 value from a dose response curve fit to the 4-parameter logistic equation.

The antagonist activity with respect to estrogen receptors in this test is given by the concentration which inhibits 50% of the estrogen receptor activity (or IC50) in nM.

The Table 2 below indicates the biochemical results of antagonist activity on WT and mutants estrogen receptors for the compounds according to the invention, and demonstrates that the compounds tested have an antagonist activity regarding estrogen receptors. In table 2, the FIGURES indicated have been obtained using the above protocol with 3 nM estradiol, unless they are noted with an asterisk (*), which indicates a protocol using 10 nM estradiol.

Test B: Cell Proliferation/Viability Assay on MCF7 (Breast Tumor Cells) WT and Mutants Cell Lines

Test B involves measuring the in vitro proliferation activity of the compounds of the invention by analyzing the viability of the tumor cells.

The measurements of the viability were made using a breast cancer cell viability assay as described hereunder.

MCF7 cells expressing (and dependent) on mutants estrogen receptor Tyr 537 Ser or Asp 538 Gly were generated by transfection of MCF7 parental cells (ATCC) with expression vectors coding for different mutants of estrogen receptor Tyr 537 Ser or Asp 538 Gly. The cells were first selected by antibiotic (related to vector expression) and then selected for their growth dependence on estrogen receptor based on their ability to grow in vitro in absence of estradiol (parental cell line die in absence of estradiol).

MCF7 cells (ATCC) or MCF7 cells expressing (and dependent) on mutants estrogen receptor Tyr 537 Ser or Asp 538 Gly were seeded in 384 wells microplate at concentration of >999 cells/30 μL per well in red phenol free MEM medium containing 5% charcoal dextran striped FBS. The following day, 9 points serial 1:5 dilution of each compound were added to the cells in 20 μL at final concentrations ranging from 3-0.000001 μM. After 7 days of compound exposure, 50 μL of CellTiter-Glo (promega) was added to the cells and relative luminescence arbitrary units (RLUs) were determined in luminescence plate reader (Envision device). CellTiter-Glo was added to 50 μL medium without cells to determine the background signal.

The percent of viability of each sample was determined as follows: (RLU sample−RLU background/RLU untreated−RLU background)*100=% viability.

Test C: Estrogen Receptor Degradation Activity

Test C involves measuring the in vitro degradation activity of the compounds of the invention.

The measurements of the degradation activities were made using a breast cancer cell ERα in cell western assay as described hereunder.

MCF7 cells (ATCC) were seeded in 384 wells microplate (collagen coated) at concentration of >9990 cells/30 μL per well in red phenol free MEM alpha medium (invitrogen) containing 5% charcoal dextran striped FBS. The following day, 9 points serial 1:5 dilution of each compound were added to the cells in 2.5 μL at final concentrations ranging from 3-0.000018 μM or 0.1 μM for fulvestrant (using as positive control). At 4 hours post compounds addition the cells were fixed by adding 25 μL of formalin (final concentration 5% formalin containing 0.1% triton) for 10 minutes at room temperature and then washed twice with PBS. Then, 50 μL of LI-COR blocking buffer containing 0.1% Triton was added to plate for 30 minutes at room temperature. LI-COR blocking buffer was removed and cells were incubated overnight at cold room with 50 μL anti-ER rabbit monoclonal antibody (Thermo scientific MA1-39540) diluted at 1:>999 in LI-COR blocking buffer containing 0.1% tween-20. Wells which were treated with blocking but no antibody were used as background control. Wells were washed twice with PBS (0.1% tween-20) and incubated at 37° C. for 60 minutes in LI-COR (0.1% tween-20) containing goat anti-rabbit antibody Alexa 488 (1:>999) and Syto-64 a DNA dye (2 μM final concentration). Cells were then washed 3 times in PBS and scanned in ACUMEN explorer (TTP-Labtech). Integrated intensities in the green fluorescence and red fluorescence were measured to determine the levels of ERα and DNA respectively.

The degradation activity with respect to estrogen receptors in this test is given by the concentration which degrades 50% of the estrogen receptor (or IC50) in nM.

The % of ERα levels decrease were determined as follows: % inhibition=100*(1−(sample−fulvestrant: DMS−fulvestrant)).

The Table 4 below indicates the estrogen receptor degradation activity results for some of the compounds according to the invention, and demonstrates that compounds tested have a significant degradation activity on estrogen receptors, namely more than 70%, and more than 80% for most of the tested compounds.
